Going to get my very first HAs. I'm really nervous. Don't know what to expect. Wish me luck.

Hi everyone, I'm back, thanks for all of the support.
When she first activated them, it sounded really loud to the right (the right has a little bit more loss than the left) so she adjusted it. I was really nervous because I didn't know what to expect in terms of what I was going to hear. I was pleasantly surprised at how nice this is!
I can hear footsteps of someone walking across the street while I was at a stop light, I heard my son moving a plastic bag in the back of the car, I heard the leaves on the trees rustle...
I heard my cat making a weird cooing sound when I coddled her. I can hear myself breathe. That was trippy.
Ambrosia, I had a frowny face because I was scared. Getting the HAs is the reality of my hearing loss. It's a physical proof that I am not hearing like I'm supposed to be.
But all in all, I think I'm going to be okay. You guys have all given me support through this and calmed a lot of my fears. You answered a lot of the questions I had in mind and informed me so that when I went in for these appointments, I knew what to ask.
Granted I did not ask a lot of questions here, others did and I looked and searched all over this forum for information.
Thanks to all of you for your warm welcomes here, and for being so kind. Thank you AllDeaf <3
LOL..
After I got my CI's:
- Birds....man, somebody shoot those bastards!!!!! How can anyone stand listening to them all day??? Same tune over, and over......
- I make noise while walking. Took me awhile to figure it out...clothes brushing against each other. Good thing I don't have corduroys anymore.
- Keyboard clicking is a lot noisier than I thought. Even the mouse makes loud clicks.
- I did not know that cats snore.
- Can hear my black Lab lapping his water from across the house.
- The pitch of my car's engine changes as the gears change.
- Raindrops hitting the windshield at speed does not sound good.
- Can differentiate between a Harley and a Japanese V-twin.
- Do people in real life make as much noise as the ones in porn flicks?
- How can hearing people not go crazy having hardwood floor squeaks?
- Now I know why everyone smokes a joint while listening to Pink Floyd.
- Have rear bicycle wheels always been this noisy?
and many, many more..................
